It was Carolyn's first chance to awl In an answer. He had been! speaking tat a monotone, getting her settled with meticulous atten-j (ton to details. j "Only lit," she corrected. Then, added, half amused, "Must I pass i physical test, too?" "Oh. no! I I was lust noting' how becoming your street drees is. I am sensitive to all sort of phe nomena. It Is unimportant at the moment. Immediately, we must hire a guard. Men, with guns. I bar no Idea where to get them!" I Carolyn looked her surprise. She ' noted that he was gating 09 now.i frowning. Something inside her told her to take the initiative; here, maybe, was her chance to make good with him at oncet An excep tional Job with exceptional pay. the advertisement had said. Well, it meant she had to use "her head, no doubt TH get them," she volunteered' blindly. "How many men. Dr. Hale? And what salaries? And "Oh. Why, any salary necessary.! You must understand that money' Is no object here now. Miss Tyler!: We are amply financed. We have: something of transcendent impor tance. AH former requisites, all of human thinking, must be reorgan ized so as to" , "Goodness! Then, no doubt, we can buy the necessary guns. What kind? And bow many?" "Why, a dozen men at least On all sides of the main laboratory yonder to see that absolutely no on even approaches the place night or day." "Whew!" "It is extremely important Miss Tyler!" j "I dont doubt It Let me use the telephone." a a QDDLY enough, ha appeared now to forget her entirely. She noted the way be buried his. nose in papers and charts at his broad desk. Plainly he had been willing to delegate a task to her. then assume that she would do it promptly and exactly right She was a trifle nervous about: all this. And yet, she would try! She dialed a number. Ken Palmer answered, and instantly she spoke most earnestly to him, in some what hushed manner. "Ken! Ken, this is me. This is I, I mean. Look here. Ken, listen1 carefully. I got the Job. I am out at Dr. Hale's laboratorv now, at work and listen carefully. Ken stop whatever you're doing and: go buy me one dozen rifles and one dozen pistols. ... No, Ken, noi and no and no! Listen to me! Get a dozen of each and send them out j here at oncel Money is is no con-1 sideratton. Send them C. O. D. or anything. "And Ken, hire me some I am NOT being funny, I tell you! 'Hire me a dozen trusted men to iuse those guns. I mean, to stand I guard around a place for Dr. Hale . . . Yes, guard, like well, like soldiers or police or something. Men we know, or you know. Ken. Something of her intensity must IJave slid over the wire to him. 'Ken Palmer became serious, as (one does with any emergency call. A minute later Carolyn was back 'near her employer. ': "It's taken care of," she an nounced. "They'll be here be fore night" "That's fine. There's your dic tation pad. A letter for Dr. P. !D. Hines, University Hall, Detroit "Dear Dr. Hines: Miss Sormi and I hasten to report that the 'experiment was a complete suc cess. Of course, I shall withhold details until adequate test can berun. Anything but absolute secrecy would be devastating now. Also, there has been no time to prepare the necessary shields. It happened only this afternoon. Measure of the radiation is im possible today but lead plates can "be arranged within a week. In any event there is grave danger Jt this stage, as you will realize. Leans Sormi knows every step I have taken, so that if anything should happen to me before I: lean have detailed reports made 'out then" I Carolyn's eyes narrowed. She Istole a quick glance at him, thenj had to keep her pencil flying. For-1 tunately, she was an exnert at: secretarial work. Two years with an energetic banker had helped. Dr. Hale was gripping both cor ners of his desk now, looking : straight ahead and talking. He enaea wis letter and went in latantly into a rather technical re port referring often to his own notes as he dictated. ... B0UT 4 he paused to dismiss ji politely the other itirls who I had come hoping for a Job. Caro- lyn felt a definite sympathy for them. At 6:20 she and Dr. Hale ! ere Interrupted again by a knock on the office door. Caro lyn answered, glad of another mo ment of rest "Ken!" she greeted a tall young man. "You you brought them!" He nodded. "Nearly $700 worth. And C O. D., if I may be so bold as to" Dr. Hale dldnt even hesitate. He Just wrote a check and gave It to Ken Palmer. Together the three went outside. Twelve men were waiting, mostly young men of ex cellent physiques. "Happens the police department keeps a waiting list," Ken Palmer explained. "Up to 100 applicants for Jobs on the force. Men who have passed rather rigid tests al ready. I was able to get a dozen in a hurry. I'd do anything Caro lyn asked. Dr. Hale! I hope you treat her right out here." "Hush, Ken! And thank you ever so much!" They stationed the guard at Dr. Hale's direction. It took halt an hour more. Soon after o'clock, though, Carolyn and Robert Hale were back in his office at dic tation again, which survuised her. Things had moved with incredi ble swiftness since she nervily came out here at 3 o clock, one hour ahead of her appointment She bad no idea what to expect next A sense of excitement too vague to understand but too em phatic to ignore, charged the air around this great laboratory and office here on the outskirts of town. Curiosity in Carolyn was at the steaming point too. so that she had some difficulty maintain ing a business-like poise. At 7 p. m. Dr. Hale was dron ing on, using more and more sci entific terms in his dictation. Her fingers were growing tired. Then all at once he surprised her again. "Who is this Mr. Palmer?" he a:ked. "Ken?" she looked up and smiled. "Oh, Ken Just boy in low with me.' Dr. Robert Hsle, scientist slow ly frowned. "Astonishing." "Astonishing that a boy should be in love with me!" "No, no! I meant. It Is aston ishing how your your eyes dis tract one. The, uh, pigmentation is " He paused, awkwardly. Carolyn squelched a quirk lit tle smile of amusement tucked in her lower lip. Her distinguished employer was more than a scien tist she realised: he could be in tensely interesting. And human. (To Be Continued) OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
